N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed
Mode
These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a
passphrase, wireless network password, or network key.
You can select from the following wireless PSK security options:
• WP
A-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to
54 Mbps only.
• WP
A2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) provides strong data
security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. This is the preset wireless
security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option
supports speeds of up to 300 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WPA2, select
WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.
• WP
A-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed
mode, which supports a combination of TKIP and AES encryption for both WPA and
WPA2 clients. For WPA clients, this option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only. For
WPA2 clients, this option supports speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
To change the WPA wireless security option and passphrase:
1. In the Security Options sections of the Wireless Settings screen, select one of the WP
A
options with PSK.
2. In the associated Passphrase field, enter the passphrase that you want to use.
The passphrase is a text string from 8 to 63 ASCII characters or exactly 64 hexadecimal
digits.
A hexadecimal digit is one of the following characters: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A,
B, C, D, E, and F.
Wireless clients need to use the passphrase to access the wireless network through the
router.
3. Click the Apply button.
